lips over Mr.. Brinsfeld's fat lambs, bathing,
fishing, grabbing, receiving calls from the
Talbot gentlemen, and accessions to their
numbers from home, running foot races and
playing leap frog along the shores. They had
encountered no mosquitoes, and had discov-

mously vote it to be the incest place they have
yet found for their encampment.
